MY ADDICTION

I was waiting, waiting!

Waiting for you to realize that I’m here.

I was waiting!

Hoping someday you would realize that I’m still here.

Standing there

You left me hanging.

Hang-ing on your leash

I hung

Begging for treats of flesh

Tasty

I bit into you

Itching, life dying, sin igniting

Erasing all restraint.

My Mind Shifting

I… was Born Again of God

But Adam took over

Eve’s flirting   

Life and Death

Dripping like honeyed words and batted eyelashes

Dangling from the tree

I bit into

Flesh.

The touch of your brown skin against my palm –

Life –

Your pink lips on mine –

Death –
